WILDLIFE, MAMMALS AND BIRDS
WILDLIFE
TOPAS is not classified as ‘Harmful to game, wild birds and animals’.
MAMMALS AND BIRDS
No risk management is necessary to protect wild mammals and birds. TOPAS is of low toxicity to both mammals and birds. The risk to wild mammals and birds feeding on treated areas is low due to the limited amount of residues likely to be consumed.
BEES
No risk management is necessary. TOPAS is of low risk to honey bees.
NON-TARGET INSECTS AND OTHER ARTHROPODS
No risk management is necessary. TOPAS poses a low risk to a range or arthropod species commonly found in and around treated fields.
AQUATIC LIFE
TOPAS is ’TOXIC TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS’.
TOPAS is of moderate toxicity to fish and aquatic invertebrates, and it is of high toxicity to aquatic plants. Care should be taken to minimise drift when applying TOPAS next to shallow ponds, ditches or slow flowing streams. Care must be taken to ensure that surface waters or ditches are not contaminated with the product or the used container.
No risk management necessary. When used according to the label instructions there will not be sufficient contamination of water to present a risk to aquatic life.
Not categorised under the LERAP scheme
SOIL AND GROUNDWATER, EARTHWORMS AND SOIL MICRO-ORGANISMS
SOIL AND GROUNDWATER
Penconazole is very persistent in soil. Under the recommended conditions of use the active substance, penconazole will have low mobility, therefore the risk of ground water contamination is considered to be low.
EARTHWORMS
TOPAS is of low toxicity. No risk management is necessary as the risk to earthworms is low.
SOIL MICRO-ORGANISMS
TOPAS is unlikely to have any long-term effect on soil microbial activity. The risk is therefore considered to be low. No risk management is necessary.
NON-TARGET PLANTS
When used as recommended TOPAS is not expected to have adverse effects on non-target plants
ALWAYS READ THE LABEL: USE PESTICIDES SAFELY
Care must be taken to minimise the risk of surface water contamination from farmyard and
field sources.
